The first day is around a seven-hours drive by bus to reach the district city of Dhunche Bazar (Elev. 2,030 m/6,660 ft). The center of Rasuwa District, here you see some fabulous cultural sites along the way. We are leaving the Kathmandu Valley behind as we cross the Valley Ridge and enter into new territory. This is a much more remote country with farms and forests. We will spend the night at a local hotel.
